        @NewYorker @fortnow "An emirp is prime even when you reverse it: 389, 983." Factual error. That is a palindromic prime, not an emirp.

        @fortnow @NewYorker All due respect -no. 389, 983 *IS* a palindrome. Wiki : "This definition excludes the related palindromic primes." (1)

        @fortnow @NewYorker Everyone assumes famous NYer fact checkers got it right. We need an esteemed prof (not a Phd dropout) to correct them(2)
